LITERATURE. WILLIAM TELL.—A DRAMA.—Translated from Senn, L3ER.,—London and Manchester, 1826. The story of William Tell, immortalized by the pens of Schiller, Florian, and in our own times by Sheridan Knowles--the first, indeed, the only dramatist of his day—ii familiar to every reader. Florian, however, it is, who in that exquisite little posthu mous romance of his, has invested the patriot with his most romantic attractions ; 'without absolutely invading the province of history, he has yet enriched it by the more subtle graces of fiction ; he has brought before us the private character •of Tell in all those minute familiar features which historic dignity seldom condescends to display ; and thrown over the whole a freshness and sustained energy, which no one who has ever read his story, ever forgets, Schiller, on the contrary, has taken up the subject in a totally opposite manner. If Florian be perhays too effeminate in style and sentiment, Schiller is terse and manly even to a fault. He passes by the domestic virtues (in which Sisinondi assures us Tell pre-eminently shone) in order to render him idramatic ; knowing well that tragedy has a peculiar province of its own ; is born, as Ovid says, " inter saxa mareque ;" is cradled in the whirlwind, and thrives only amid the storms and passions of the hu man heart. Hence, in perusing this drama, we are to divest our minds of all preconceived opinions; and look upon its hero as the stern unpromising republi can, sitting deliberately down by the way-side enve loped in his own mountain clouds (and well this in cident .tells) awaiting the awful moment of murder. H e appears, indeed, throughout, as the cheerless . un bending patriot—with but a few lingering gleams of h uman ity at his. heart ; and those few stinted and parched as the oasis of th e de ser t. Thi s , h owever, w a s a bsolutely necessary to his existence as a dramatic character : we sytnpathize, although we cannot be im pressed, with the mere tenderness of man ; it is his energy we want ; that masculine overwhelming energy which, still more than i n rea l lif e , f orms the staple on the ofa stage , hero. All this and more, Schiller has powerfully heightened by its cont ras t a l tl ie n il ii , ra s b ti l i y i m m o a r i e 7ged: he has given Us manline ss i n and the mere animal enthu swiaitslzin his of the e fe ylo.luetdiltuig' melchtal; and by giving indivi dual touches of character to all his persons, has brought out (to.hOrrow a phrase from the pallet) the 5I lights and shades" of the drama, and rendered each indivi dual a portrait. In this respect he resembles Mak sPeare, to whom indeed the general cast of his mind is similar, scene between Melelital and Walter Furst, where the Nkster Barnard'. open and deepen of themselves in a few brief much so, that we would fearlessly place one but pregnant words, against the inimitable one of Hav ing premised this d to an analysis of the play before much, we proceed ine ill Measur 1 .efor Measure. ' of Altair, after i lls ' nontlis of dilig,ent brutality, ~ rabl succeeded period when the drama in alienating the hearts of all Switzer _ Gesler, the Austrian Governor , land, and - at the • -i i d s ui re i l presented as having fixed his maop h o ss ls, his head), in the hi g h est s , • • that : ! L : quarter of the city, in order cap (the wisest part of its 'amabitants• that of its owner's intellect,i might bow to genuine symbol to it, but a few refractory ones refuse, payti ali i ( r t d a e m w org quence es still v he is them Tell; in conse - brought bound 'before Gesler, and of ' which contumacy commanded by way of p enance t o shoot anapple son's head 1 at the d is t ance o f a hunched p aces .- ~ off his This fruitless opp o sition, he succeeds • • ' after some In doing, but unfor. he failed ; on which that exemplary Governor Governor remands him to prison, -with the comfortable assurance of hav ing him hanged in the morning . By this time however, the indignant ener g y o f Te ll, has roused a cor respOnding enthusiasm in his countrynisn, the flame, like an electric flash, it communicated from one to another, until the whole districts of Uri and Under wallen, are roused to rebellion. Just at this juncture, Tell contrives to escape, and hearing that Gesler in tends to cross a lake in the neighbourhood of Altorf, waylays him when separated from his attendants ; and with the thunder and the lightenings of hetiven rolling and flashing (as he poetically o bserves), like " minis ters of retribution" around hi m , s hoots him dead ; and then hurries by preconcerted agreement to 'Abort', where, at the head of hi s madd ene d countrymen, he raises the flag of independence„ and succeeds in ob taining it. Such are the brief incidents on which Schiller has founded his play. As, however, they were in theMselves too meagre for a drama, he has interwoven them with an underplot ; a sort of love in cident, which, however interesting i n its line, is like all such matters exceedingly insipid, except to the parties concerned. It is of the higher olualitiexOf his play that we here profess to treat ;- and in doing so cannot but again express our firm conviction- that the genius of Schiller, if not created, was at least moulded by the master mind of Shakspeare. His pathos—his energy—his imagination —and above all, that restless inquisitive power by which he drew from out the depthsof the human heart its Most bidden passions ; all are here displayed in profusion. In description, however, particularly of local scenery, Schiller is decidedly inferior. He has made little (though he has attempted much) of the peculiar fea tures of Switzerland—the most characteristic in the world—for change but Underwallen to Inverness-shire, Altorf to Dumbarton Castle, and the Lake of Zurich to that of Lochlomond, and the graphic outlines will tell as well of the Highlands as of the Tyrol. With respect to the poetry, it is as all Schiller 'a was : the poetry rather' of the heart than the head. There are in it few of those cold eloquent generalities which sound well though they mean nothing ; all is terse,' pointed, and natural. And is not this nature,? We argue, in sentences ; .but we feel, in words ;. that is, when roused to passion we come at once to the. subject of ,excitement, And no man of trite sensibility— witness Homer, Shakspeare, Byron, Wordsworth, and still more Burns, or one whose feelings were actiiely awake, ever yet expressed them by eloquence. All true sentiment is epigrammatic. In compliance, however, with the fashion of the day, which runs in favour of verbiage, and glitter in poetry, we subjoin one passage, which is eminently beautiful in its kind : the sentiment marked in italics, is truly Shakspearian. Oh 'tie a noble, noble gift of heaven, The gift of tight—m.l being lives an light, And all creation feels its gladdening power ; The plants themselves turn joyful to the light, And he amidst the night must groping sit, Of an eternal darkness. Him revives No longer the 'MUM meadow's vivid green, No more can he the fluwret's melting dies The roseate-tinted glacier more behold. To die is nothing—nothing ! but to live, And not to see, is misery indeed. Why do you look at ma so piteously? • I have two glistening eyes, and cannot give One to my poor blind father—not a ray-- The faintest glimmering of that flood of light Which bursts upon my eyes in dazzling splendour. The following splendid. line (which a poet only could have written) gives a finely impressive idea of mountain magnificence : " Veil'd like eternity; the Jungfran stands." A modern professor of poetry would have diluted this into four glittering lines of sound and bombast, and called it, with Dominic Sampson, " prodigious I" Schil ler knew better, and we are glad to find a translator who does him justice. The following sentiment, though not exactly new, is yet pleasing and well ex pressed. It is put into the mouth of an old, man : " Oh, if the genial sun comes not to me I can no longer seek it on the mountains, And so in narrower and till narrower circle, With feeble steps I journey on, toralliv The narrowest and last, where life stands still; Scarcely the shade of whit I was, and soon Only to be'a name." So. again : " You are young, My Meleltal, vigorous in days to be, But I am old and feeble, never more In this brief twilight of my age, shall hope Shed, like the westering sun, her beams upon me ; I am a withered bough, trod under foot Upon the highway of my life, and left At mercy of each angry gale that blows. 1, that was once so proud, fall humbled now, And Autumn winds make melancholy music • Through my wati, leafless beughs." The versification of this last passage reminds us strongly of Webster's noble play of " The Duchess of Malfy." The picturesque beauty of the following poetic dia logue will remind the reader of a scene in the " Mer chant of Venice." Baumgarten.--The mountain pass still opens ; follow me quick, I know the little cross that crowns the rock ; ifelchtal.— How goes the night? Baumgarten. —The watch has just cried two Upon the Selikerg. iunai d qfbells,in the distance.) Meier.-- Be still and listen. Bauniyarten.—The matin bell of the lone forest chapel Sounds sweetly , over from the shore of Schwits. Meier.--The air is clear and bears the sound so far. Setca.—lt is a lovely night ! The tranquil lake Sleeps like a cradled infant. Meier.—Yes and hark ! _ Prom elf to cliff the whisper creeps along, Of the lone night bird—listen." From the sp ec i mens w e have here given, the reader will not fail to do justice is much to the translator as the original. His work indeed is faithful and spirited throughout ; and even in his present comparatively humble capacity we find gleams of genius that might obtain distinction by relying upon exertions of its own. A letter from Parma states that the Archduchess Maria Louisa has just conferred upon the Imperial Prince of Austria the collar of the Grand Ducal Or der of St. George. 7th Ditto—Henry William Atkinson, Gent. to be Cornet, by purchase, vim King, promoted ; Lieutenant Charles Hickman to be Adjutant; vice Daniel, who resigns the Adjutantcy only. let Regiment of Dragoons—Humphrey Trafford, Gent. to be Cornet, by purchase, vice Stracey, promoted. 2d Ditto—George Watts, Gent. to be Veterinary Surgeon, vice Trigg, deceased. 34 Regiment of Light Dragoons—Lieutenant Charles Phillips to be Captain, by purchase, vice Jackson, who retires; Cornet George Henry Lockwood to be Lieutenant, by purchase, vice Phillipps; William, James Downes, Gent,. to be Cornet, by pm, &lei, vice Lockwood. 6th Regiment of Dragoons—Cornet John Waddington to be Lieutenant, by purchase, vice GiMesa, promoted. oth Regiment of Light Dragoons—Lieutena»t Hon.
